We take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer's needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction from start to completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"The contractor (Mr. Monty) agreed to inspect if the original underlayment is a non-absorbent material/ overlay and the original vapor was damaged? If a new non-absorbent underlayment was installed and a new vapor barrier was applied on the concrete? If the kitchen floor needs to have a vapor barrier? Contractor also agreed to inspect signs of watermarks on concrete subfloor, cabinets and in the kitchen drop. Contractor has the access for these inspections. Contractor refused to do the inspection according to the scope of the work, and added unnecessary and voluntary items in the report that has no sign of watermark and has nothing to do with my scope of work. The Report does not state: 1. If the original underlayment inspected under refrigerator is a nonabsorbent material or not (please see picture in the report.) 2. If the original vapor barrier inspected on the concrete in the closet is damaged or not (please see picture in the report.) 3. if a new non-absorbent underlayment was installed or not? 4. if a new vapor barrier was applied or not? 5. if kitchen floor needs to have a vapor barrier? 6. if there are any signs of watermarks in the kitchen drop and on the concrete in the closet. Report should have not added voluntary items and information outside of the scope of the work. It feels like contractor did the inspection for someone else at my cost."

An important part of any real estate transaction is for you understanding how much deferred maintenance you may be taking on and how urgent any scope might be. As a General Contractor working in the Bay Area for close to 40 years I have worked on almost every situation that you can think of. I bring a contractors experience to the home inspection, an experience that many other inspectors don't have.

Home Inspection questions, answered by experts

Yes, deck footings typically require an inspection before laying down concrete. While not all local building codes require footing inspection, proper placement ensures a safe and structurally sound deck. An inspector will verify that the deck can adequately hold what you put on top of it., and that the footings have been dug to the correct dimensions.

Start by finding the septic tank, marked by an access lid near your home. From there, the drain field extends outward in a series of trenches. Look for greener, lusher grass, as drain fields promote plant growth due to moisture and fertilizer. You can also check property records, use a soil probe to detect damp soil, or hire a septic professional with ground-penetrating radar equipment to map the drain field’s location.

Loose shingles, leaks, and structural weaknesses are typical findings.

Insurance companies will often take pictures of your house to confirm property details before issuing a policy or after receiving a claim. The insurance company may keep these photos on hand to compare to later pictures if you make a claim. It’s common for an insurance company to send someone to photograph the exterior of your home and your property without notifying you in advance. However, they’ll need to let you know ahead of time if they need to take interior pictures.

A home inspection costs around $350, but prices can fall anywhere between $190 and $510, depending on the size of the home, the location, the inspector you choose, and the quality and depth of the inspection you need. In most cases, buyers pay for the home inspection , so you typically won’t need to worry about the cost if you’re a seller. Home inspections may seem unnecessary, but they can save you thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars in unexpected repairs, so they’re always worthwhile.
